Sean Lowe, Catherine Giudici marry on live TV

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Jan. 27 (UPI) -- The Bachelor's Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici completed their courtship where it began -- on television.

The 30-year-old insurance salesman from Dallas, Texas and his 27-year-old fiancee became one of the long-running reality show's few successful matches when they walked down the aisle at the Four Seasons Resort in Santa Barbara on Sunday.

Guidici wore a Monique Lhuillier gown to the televised ceremony, which was attended by a bevy of familiar faces from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, including Trista and Ryan Sutter, Jason and Molly Mesnick, Jef Holm, Ashley Hebert, Desiree Hartsock, Chris Siegfried, Ali Fedotowsky, J.P. Rosenbaum and DeAnna Pappas Stagliano.

"From the moment I met you I wanted more," Lowe reportedly told Giudici during the ceremony. "You had me hooked from the beginning and I didn't want to let you go. We met in the strangest way possible."

Lowe's father officiated the nuptials, calling their relationship "an epic fairytale on display for the whole world to see."

Lowe and Giudici shared details of their preparations on social media before the wedding, including the bride's "wedding emergency kit" and the groom's cakes.

"It's gorgeous," Giudici said of her gown on Good Morning America. "I've always felt like a cute girl, trying to be fun and playful, but this time I'm really coming out as a woman and I want to wear something very form-fitting and sexy."

She also described the wedding as "grown sexy."

Many of the wedding's more recognizable attendees shared photos from the event:
